RUSH's ALEX LIFESON Releases First New Music In Close To A Decade
blabbermouth ^

Posted on 06/15/2021 4:47:33 PM PDT by mylife

Legendary RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson and Epiphone present the new Alex Lifeson Epiphone Les Paul Standard Axcess electric guitar. Created by Lifeson and the luthiers at Epiphone in Nashville, Tennessee, the Alex Lifeson Epiphone Les Paul Standard Axcess is now available worldwide at Epiphone.com.

Through an extensive collaboration between Alex and Gibson, Epiphone pushed the boundaries of the classic Les Paul to create the exclusive Alex Lifeson Les Paul Standard Axcess. The guitar includes a pair of powerful Epiphone pickups — the Pro Bucker 3 bridge pickup and the Ceramic Pro neck pickup. It also includes coil-splitting options via the push-pull volume controls and a Graph Tech Ghost Floyd Rose system. Together these features give the player access to both traditional magnetic humbucker tones as well as the Ghost's realistic acoustic tones. For added flexibility, you can blend acoustic and magnetic voices to create a rich layered sound .

"The introduction of the Epiphone Alex Lifeson Axcess model based on my Gibson Les Paul Axcess model has all the same attributes and characteristics that I desired so much when we originally designed it," says Lifeson. "The look, the sound, the playability and the utility — it's all there for the player at any level. I'm very proud of this guitar."

To mark the occasion of his collaboration with Epiphone and the release of the new Alex Lifeson Epiphone Les Paul Standard Axcess guitar, Lifeson is proud to debut two brand new songs titled "Kabul Blues" and "Spy House". Fans can get a first listen to "Kabul Blues" and "Spy House" in the video below, and listen to the songs in their entirety exclusively at AlexLifeson.com. These two instrumental songs mark the first new music from Alex Lifeson in close to a decade.

Rush? Before my time, unless it refers to the radio host.

Every other year I’ll have a long-haired high school student at the high school I teach at and they’re always RUSH fans and their father has a huge collection of RUSH.

It’s always funny to see them because 25 years ago when I was a high school student there was always one long haired RUSH fan back then too.

Damn I forgot he died. He wrote a lot of their stuff didn’t he. Unbelievable drummer that made it look so easy. Can not tell you how many times I sat hammered and played air drums to the Tom Sawyer drum solo.

Alex could have just done various iterations of La Villa Strangiato, but he did it once, and moved on. It’s one of the single greatest guitar performances I’ve ever heard.
